2. Connect USB devices first to the C/Port and then plug in the power cord for the

USB device (if applicable).

3. Connect the CPU link cable from the PC Blade to the C/Port. For dual processor

Blades, the C/Port cable must be connected to the secondary C/Port jack on the

BackPack (e.g., if the Blade is placed in slots 3 and 4, the C/Port cable should be

plugged into C/Port jack #4 on the BackPack).

4. Connect the C/Port power supply module to the C/Port power input, and then plug

the power supply into the wall power socket. Make sure you have the properly

rated power supply module for your local power outlet. The blue power indicator

will light.

5. Examine the Link Status Indicator LED on the front of the C/Port. It should be

green if connected to a PC Blade. The link status should be green even if the

Blade is not powered on. If the LED is not green, verify that the C/Port is

connected to the proper cable and that the Cage has power.

6. The Link Status Indicator LED on the PC Blade should now also be green. If not,

check the following:

Verify that the Cage has power.

Verify that the link cable plugged into the PC Blade is the same one that is

plugged into the respective C/Port.

Verify that the C/Port cable and RJ-45 connectors have been wired correctly.

Green LEDs at both ends indicate that the installation is correct.

If you ordered the C/Port mounting kit, you can screw it to the desktop surface or use

double-sided tape. The C/Port can be removed from the bracket via the keyhole

inserts.

NOTE: Locate your C/Port in a ventilated area away from any heat sources. For

example, do not stack your C/Port on top of monitor ventilation vents or on top

of other significant heat generating devices.

Adjusting the C/Port

Once the link is established between the C/Port and the PC Blade, the process of

adjusting the C/Port for optimum performance can begin. If you find that the first

image you see on the monitor is blurry and has color convergence problems (the

pixels are not lined up correctly, and color shadows are evident around every image)

then the following adjustment steps should be performed. Careful adjustments in the

proper sequence will ensure a high-quality computer video display on the monitor.

NOTE: This only has to be done during initial set-up. Image sharpness adjustment is

usually required, while color adjustment is only required for distances greater

than 100 m.

Setting Monitor Resolution

Before adjusting your C/Port for sharpness and color, adjust your monitor resolution

and refresh rate to the desired setting by using the controls provided with your

CAUTION: Do not attach the C/Port to a telephone jack or other powered
network connection. This will permanently damage the C/Port. This
damage is not covered under the ClearCube Technology limited warranty.
